Hello Fanfiction! This here is a little story I decided to write based on a popular romance sim game for Iphone and Android, Pirates In Love. Hope you enjoy! Please be sure to favorite if you like it and leave a review!
"Hey Ash, I need to head out and pick up some things before we open. Think you can manage on your own for a bit?"
I shook my head with a sigh as a small smiled played across my features. "Honestly, you sound like I haven't been working here since I was 16." I placed a large box of glasses on the counter and walked around to the front.
"I'm 18 now, remember? I've been working here for a few years, I think I can handle being alone for a little bit."
The old man smiled, but his eyes were still worried. "Go." I said, pushing him gently towards the door. He was like a second father to me, always worrying whenever he left me alone or I didn't show up for work.
"Alright, alright. I'm going." He was finally smiling as he walked out the door. I chuckled to myself as I went around the bar picking up any stray glasses that had yet to be washed. I cleaned the tables and countertops, scrubbed the floors, and even reorganized the alcohol. It was only mid-afternoon, so we were never really busy.
Heck, I don't even think we open until nightfall.
I sighed and went back behind the counter, quite utterly bored. "Gonna be a sloooow shift." As I spoke, I could hear hollering coming from just outside the bar. Curious, I leaned over the counter to try and see out the small window when the door was flung open and a handful of shady looking men came walking in, demanding alcohol.
"Hey, guys, sorry but we're not open yet." They looked at me and one of them smirked. "Hey boys, looks like we get free booze and a girl!" He made a move towards me and I ducked behind the counter out of instinct.
"Hey, come on baby, we won't hurt you…much!" They all chortled at that comment, and I was rather scared for my life, among other things. Gotta get out of here…. Oh, why didn't I agree with installing a hidden exit?
"There ya are!" One of the men reached over the counter and grabbed me by the arm, pulling me up and over. I landed with a dull thud on the floor. That's gonna leave a bruise. "Get off me you perv!" I yelled and pushed the guy off me. Bad idea.
"Someone needs to teach you some manners." He growled, pulling a thin dagger from his belt.
"You gotta have manners to teach 'em, idiot." Two more guys had shown up, a man with an eye patch and dark hair, a pistol in hand and a younger blonde man wielding a sword in each hand.
"Why you little..!" The guy drew his arm to throw his dagger but the other two were faster. They were knocking away the thugs' weapons and knocking them unconscious in what could have been record time.
"Hey, you, girl!" Eye patch guy was yelling at me, still sitting dazed on the ground, staring. "Get up and get a move on. Get out of here!" He looked angry, and the loaded gun in his hand didn't help. I nodded quickly and got up, practically running out of there.
Gotta find my boss. Gotta tell him…
My thoughts were interrupted as I nearly ran into a couple of the guys from the bar. "There she is, get her!" That was my queue to book it. I ran back the other way, searching desperately for a hiding place.
There! A barrel! Perfect! There was a large pile of them, and I hastily climbed into the first empty one I found and shut the lid. I could hear the thugs yelling, still looking for me.
I guess getting assaulted and chased on top of an empty stomach really got to me, because it was about then that I passed out.
